Very true, Bigscoop, many posts recently have been in the could have, maybe, or this happened to others so maybe it happened to the Beale party. My favorites are because it is the Beale Papers its true, or the Beale Papers is a historic document.
The only facts concerning the 1885 Beale Papers is that James Beverly Ward copyrighted it as agent, published it with cousin John William Sherman printing the job pamphlet priced at 50 cents and advertised in the Lynchburg Virginian newspaper.
When one goes outside of the Beale Papers seeking proof of the narrative text, outside proof does not exist.
What if an outside person had talked to J. B. Ward and confirmed the whole thing as true ?
